not a change of mind, just a statement all i was saying is if there is nothing genuinely wrong with him and he put that performance in then cried wolf to be subbed instead of being a man and helping the team then he hasnt got the fight for it and he should have genuinely being sold and wenger probably did see something bad in him.

Certainly the most reasonable explanation… I honestly cannot fathom a player at that level faking an injury after making a big mistake… absolute shambles if true, but hard to believe. Now, maybe it was something he COULD have fought through and he took a bit of the easy way out, but still…

Not a chance he faked it. Sorry, but a professional footballer doesn’t do that.

Feigning injury is something a footballer would never do, footballers are known for being totally honest when it comes to whether they are hurt or not. There definitely isn’t a wide spread culture of lying about that kind of thing.

Your faith in the honesty of professional footballers is almost sweet in its naivety.

Campbell not only left the pitch but the stadium and country that time against West Hamand he was back playing within a couple of months. Honestly, we shouldn’t be judging this until we know a bit more.
